Welcome to HBGames, a leading amateur game development forum and Discord server. All are welcome, and amongst our ranks you will find experts in their field from all aspects of video game design and development.
Thanks to all 8 of you who have voted so far. At the momment, most of you want to see a mini mission from the game, so if you want to see something different, vote now. I have fixed the dodgy blue stuff around the trees, and I have made a custom windowskin for the game. It fits with the HUD, and looks pretty good. I am having no luck with finding some monsters, and I'm not very good at spriting from scratch, but it will get done eventually.
I've found out where all the guns I'm using so far has come from, and a load more: http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/8313/gunsck6.png[/img]
Does anyone know who made/ripped these? If you do, can you tell me, and I can credit that person in the game. I've just about made a start to the introduction to the game now, but it involves a lot of spriting, so it could take some time. If you haven't already voted on the poll demo, then why not? Does nobody want to see what I have so far? You have until the 7/5/08. Then I will be releasing the demo and some new screens of the intro around that time.

The demo is nearly ready. It should be complete be the end of today. Keep checking up on this topic. I hope everyone who likes this game is looking forward to it. Screenshots should be out sooner.
Sorry about the demo not being out. It is nearly complete now, however, so the new realese date is 9/5/08.
EDIT: Oh, yeah check the topic, though, there are some new screenshots for you all.
It was quite obvious that I had to get the Pass..
The only thing that bothered me, was that I was looking out for a real 'worker'
('cause that's what it said.. factory workers often have those passes)
Of course, after a while, I got my ammo, and started shooting the boss and his companion..
The shooting was surprisingly intuitive..
In some games, the long distance attacks are hard to perform, but these worked..
My only complaint about those is that you'll have to aim for the exact tile that's the event.. (Am I right? Not sure)
But when the boss charged at me, Black stripes came into vision:
They were still there when I opened my menu.
Of course.. I used my machine gun on the companion..
So I had to kill the boss with my pistol.
I was unable.
"Aagh.. I've failed.. Now all is lost.."
GAME OVER
PRO's:
- Good system (that's what this demo was about, wasn't it?)
CON's
- Not mentioned before, but the game was kinda laggy.
- Minor typing bugs
- The monster AI is a tad low..
BUT OVERALL there's more PRO than CON..
Just a bit finetuning will be good..
Thanks for playing! The mapping error will be sorted now you've pointed it out. My spelling has always been a bit dodgy, so next time, I'll proof read everything before the demo is released. I'm glad you enjoyed the main part of the battle system. The lag is a bit of a problem at the moment, but like everything else, it will be sorted.

Ah, you must have knocked 'A'. That is the combo system cicking in, I should have gone into more detail about that:
Once your combo (the blue) bar is full, press 'A' and your attacks will be twice as powerful. In combo mode, you can also attack quicker.
Thanks for leting me know about the picture not dissapearing after opening the menu, though.
And finally, the AI is still in development. In case you didn't already know, the battle system and HUD are completely evented, so it is very hard to get the monsters to think for themselves (which may also explain the lag). But, it's still very early on, so I'm glad you have enjoyed what there is so far.
I tried to open it and then my virus scanner said *buzzer sound* trojan detected :shock:. But he gives that always if I try to open an .exe file witch he doesn't know.
The first post has been updated with a new poll. I want to know who still likes this game. Cause at the moment, only about 3 people (thank you, you 3) seem to like what I'm doing. So please have a look at the demo, and the concepts and graphics, and vote. That way, I can know if I need to drastically change anything.
Well I downloaded the demo, and I was really confused as to where to go at the beginning. I had to edit the game to see where I have to go. So I went to the right to try to get to the next map, but the demo bugged out and closed without giving me an error every time I try. I don't want to make an uneducated vote considering I haven't even used the gun on an enemy.
Strange... that doesn't happen to me... Can you send a screenshot of where it happened?
Oh, and how exactly did you edit it?
EDIT: Damn! I just relized I didn't lock it! Could anyone who downloaded the .zip demo please delete it and wait for the new one.
